[Nakago looks at the screen. He is just as calm and cool as ever. It's so easy for him to hide how he hated the weekend for what it revealed.]

It would appear I have some people to thank for the care they provided for a young boy called Ayuru. The curse was rather unexpected to say the least.

And some handled it quite well.

One learns how to endure these weekends of chaos eventually.

I believe I met Ayuru over the weekend. My butler offered to take him in, so I obviously ended up meeting him as well. I'll pass on your thanks, if you'd like, although I'm sure Riff will see your message here as well.

[seiryuuswarrior]

Yes, you and your butler are among those who I wish to thank for watching over me at that time.

[misterblackbird]

Of course. I could hardly imagine Riff would have refused you help.

I'm only sorry I had to meet you while I was a cat.

[seiryuuswarrior]

Then allow me to introduce myself under better circumstances and with my proper name.

I am Nakago.

[misterblackbird]

It's a pleasure to meet you. I've already given you my name, but at least this time I can meet you as myself.

[seiryuuswarrior]

How nice to know you are not always a cat.

[misterblackbird]

I'd be a remarkable cat to be able to speak and to have my own butler, I think.

A child, at least, can always grow up.

[seiryuuswarrior]

It does seem to be something they are blessed with.

[misterblackbird]

It does, rather.

[seiryuuswarrior]

And how long have you been in this place, Cain?

[misterblackbird]

Four years, come the first part of May. And yourself?

[seiryuuswarrior]

That's quite awhile. I've only been here around six months.

[misterblackbird]

Yes, I know it is. It still surprises even me.

Six months is no small amount of time to have been here either, though.

[seiryuuswarrior]

Time passes by quickly.

[misterblackbird]

It does. And the curses certainly don't help one in trying to accomplish something in the time one does have.

[seiryuuswarrior]

I had noticed that.
